People who use drugs face a higher TB risk, but stigma & barriers limit access to care. Support, not judgment, is key. TB Proof is piloting peer-led motivational interviewing to improve care & reduce stigma. Leave no one behind! #UseMyVoice to #EndTB

With 155M TB survivors at risk of post-TB lung disease (#PTLD), urgent action is needed in LMICs. Today, we launched our project with stakeholders to develop tools, create solutions & raise awareness for better post-TB care. No survivor should be left behind.
